president stressed it today, whether you like the bill or not, forthenextthreeyears it is going to be law. until president obama is no longer in the white house, then we have a discussion about repeal. then republicans need to stop saying we need to get it off the books. >> sam, what are they accusing him of? it's like if a baseball batter gets a strike called on him, you don't accuse him of not trying to hit the ball. if you try to hit the ball and fail, that's what obama did here. it was a poor rollout. >> yeah. >> are they accusing him of wanting to have a poor rollout? it seems like they're saying he lied. he wanted this to be lousy. what are they actually accusing him of? >> that's the irony of the criticism. they say the website is so poor. it's not letting people buy coverage. it's not what you promised it to be. and we don't want people to buy coverage. it would be bad for femme. so there is a general inconsistency to the criticism here. but again, the president stressed it today. for the next three years, he will be in the oval office. the repeal movement is for that period o

obamaoranybody else offers forthenextyears.will come in as an absolute obstructionist. what does that do to our country when you have states that have marked themselves off for obstructionism? >> i mean, i think we're in a lot of trouble. in part because these aren't going to be like todd akins. a lot of cases, whoever wins the primary is going to win the election. and so this is just kind of a warning to all republicans that you can't compromise at all. that you can't -- i mean, one of the chris mcdaniel's points against thad cochran is he voted to end the shutdown. so don't vote to end the shutdown. >> i was going to say that's very true, but some of that's going to get worked out in the primary as well. i think chris' question is going to be the one that even some primary voters will ask themselves. so what would be your plan? and so, that's why i say in states like south carolina, it's not a given that it naturally falls a certain way just because it's south and conservative. >> let's look at this web ad against mitch mcconnell. here's the further conservative primary opponen

going to run outofobamacareattacks eventually. because either millions of people will get new benefits, will sign up in the next month, next couple months and this won't be a good path to take outside of the republican presidential primary of 2016. or the law won't work out well in which case they'll have this bonanza, the republicans, politically speaking. this is going to run its course. but they have nothing to talk about on the economy which gives this president this great big opening. i mentioned this a moment ago. the numbers that came out today show that he has a lot of credibility to talk about how we make things better than they are now. and he has lots of ideas. he needs to make those things very concrete at this point in time. and start rallying people and winning back some of the people in the middle who he's lost in the last week or two because of the botched rollout. so he has a big opening here. >> i know one other opening i think he began to explain a little bit and i want to keep doing here because it's un-american is to suppress the black voter in 36 states.

obama. chrishayesisupnext. >>>presidentobamacomeshere tomorrow. let's play "hardball." >>> good evening. i'm chris matthews in washington. i got the christmas eve excitement brewing here at hard balance, because tomorrow at precisely this time, the president of the united states is going to join us on "hardball." it's going to be a serious night of questions, certainly for me, questions about executive management methods and the health care rollout, voter suppression across the country and war and peace questions. how we can avert war with iran. we've been hitting these issues on "hardball." i'm hoping the president will be responsive to the concerns that you and i certainly share and the hopes that we have for this country for the next three years. unfortunately, america's still being assaulted by the bizarre benghazi tactics or that he's an illegal alien who shouldn't have been elected in the first place and should be deported to east africa or somewhere more distant. we have a wild and wooly right wing out there that cares nothing about facts, only the need to stri

alphabet jobs. that'sgone.obamaisso good about this.thenextdemocraticpresident is going to have to honor that. you're going to see a lot of african-american faces. a lot more people mixed in. >> absolutely. they've been substantive. eric hold ser a consequential player. and i think going forward if hillary clinton runs as i believe she is going to, one of the things that's going to speak well of her among african-americans was the service she provided to the administration. that and the stellar job campaigning for the re-election. that does a lot. even more than that, you're not going to have a rift within the african-american community where the leadership is going one way and the base is going the other. that was an issue too. there's not going to be a tug of war. i think because the clintons showed themselves to be loyal enough within the obama project, they will be there. it won't be enough to stop them. >> joy, you're great. i've got to go. thanks so much. >>> up next, the republican national committee seems to think racism ended in this country way back in 1955. and this i
